  1. Yep, the Gimli Glider. The question though, would a computer have been able to bring that flight to a positive outcome?
  2. The problem is you cannot always trust computers. They are only as good as the people that program them, and can be tricked. Wasn’t there an Air France flight where the pilots let the computer fly them into the Atlantic? Now of course there are issues when humans are flying as well, but honestly I would much rather trust a human to make the decisions then a computer.
  3. Here is a variation on that scam using Bitcoin ATM’s. Similar story though, remote job interview, bad check sent to purchase supplies, then scammers convinced scamee to send in their own money. https://www.freep.com/story/money/personal-finance/susan-tompor/2022/09/23/bitcoin-atm-cryptocurrency-qr-code-scam/7842125001/
  4. No worries. I would have someone check your mail as already suggested. You might already have a new extension letter, and can avoid a trip to the consulate/Guam USCIS office, and an international FedEx envelope is much cheaper. Good Luck!
  5. So now I see, you are looking for a boarding foil. This is not done at a USCIS field office, but rather at a US consulate. You most likely will not be allowed to board a flight to Guam until you get a foil.
  6. Didn’t follow anything today, went hiking with the dog. So is the US men’s team out?
  7. Have you already sent them sensitive personal information? I agree with everyone else, this clearly looks like a scam, and should be reported. You can try the FBI. https://www.ic3.gov
  8. Drones are not really self flying though are they? I may be wrong, but I thought drones were controlled from a ground station operator.
  9. It is also interesting to me that a Bernie Madoff, or others that may try a Ponzi scheme will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but the Federal government can run its own Ponzi scheme without retribution. I know I am closer to collecting than most here, but I still have my doubts I will ever see a dime.
  10. Don’t fully understand the question. Are you planning on entering the US with an immigrant visa for endorsement, then go back? If so, I believe Guam would work as US CBP is there. If it is for another reason, please clarify.
  11. More gluing. Personally, I would say let the planes land regardless, but I suppose it could put the passengers and crews at risk. Flights are diverted and Berlin's Brandenburg Airport closed after climate protesters ‘cut through wire fence and glued themselves to Tarmac' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11466707/Berlins-Brandenburg-Airport-closed-climate-protesters-glued-Tarmac.html
  12. It is simply sad that in 2022, people can be discriminated against simply due to the color of their skin.
  13. Shoot, I get up at 3 am every day. It is not hard.
  14. The dog in my picture keeps my wife warm on the couch!
  15. I know, we discussed it, the problem with Russia and a lot of other former Soviet Bloc countries is that they use a National ID card commonly referred to a their domestic passport. To change their travel passport they first have to change the domestic passport along with every other Russian program tied to that passport. This can only be done inside Russia and can take anywhere from six weeks to six months depending on how much many things are tied to the domestic passport. Honestly, it would have been easier for her to not change her family name when we got married, but she wanted to do that.
  16. The wife and I use this one. It works very well on those long road trips. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Koolatron-Fun-Kool-P25-Thermoelectric-Iceless-12V-Personal-Cooler-24L-26-qt-Made-in-North-America-P25/203645233?
  17. My wife has dual citizenship and for her it is a little more complicated since her passports do not have the same name (doing a name change on her Russian passport is a long bureaucratic process involving getting a legal name change). She has no issues when traveling, she exits and enters the US and most other countries using her US passport, but of course she has to show her Russian passport to board any flights to Russia, and of course when entering and exiting Russia. Sometimes when she transits a country that only allows a few days visa free transit (I.e. China), she has to show her Russian passport and onward flight information when leaving the US to prove she doesn’t need a visa since her return flight (also a transit) is beyond the visa free period. Several times when entering China, one of their boarder agents insists she cannot enter with no visa, but my wife persists, shows her onward flight, etc. My whole point here is to say travel as a dual citizen can be complicated, but it is really no big deal. My wife has never had any denials, just sometimes some brief delays.
  18. You can hit the report button on your original post and ask a moderator/organizer to move this to the Philippines regional forum as it appears you question is regionally relevant. Good Luck!
